New ISBoxer - Major Issue

[Lax]

No, nobody is shutting down WoW to load another Character Set, unless they don't know the following: All you need to do is log out to Character Select, select the new team from the launch menu, then log into the new (matching) characters in the game from there.

As far as the issue with your Window Layout, it sounds like you may not have done an Export since upgrading? The behavior you're describing is expected until you do. At worst, you can run the Window Layout Wizard (right click on Window Layouts) and replace your current Window Layout with a newly-generated one.

And as far as the ISBoxer Addon giving that warning box... because of the way you are designing your configuration (to not rely on the Character names), you can safely ignore it and click it off. In build 38.2.312.1 or later (not out yet as of this post) you can put in a * for the "Actual name" field per Character to make it ignore.

Lax,

Thanks. As always, you are here to clear up ignorance about how ISBoxer works and we appreciate it. I exported again and this time it "took", so window swapping is no longer an issue. Major issue solved!

However, I'm still a bit puzzled about how most people use ISBoxer. Even if they don't have to reload WoW, it sounds like they have to load in a different character set before logging in the new character. I'm obviously using it in a somewhat different way. So, with a simple 3-man setup like this:

Window/Account 1
Mage
Lock

Window/Account 2
Ele Shammy
Boomkin

Window/Account 3
Warrior
Pally

Most people might set up a Character Set 1 of Mage, Ele Shammy, Warrior and a Character Set 2 of Lock, Boomkin, Pally.

If you loaded Character Set 1, then wanted to switch out your Lock for the Mage, would you:
1) simply logout your Mage, have ISBoxer load Character Set 2 (which I guess would ensure your WoW windows were up, but not reload them), then log in your Lock? Then ignore the error message on Accounts 2 and 3 since Character Set 2 is expecting a Boomkin and Pally? And any macros you managed in ISBoxer that were character specific for the Warrior and Ele Shammy would not work, right?
or you could
2) make things really smooth by setting up a Character Set 3 of Lock, Ele Shammy, Warrior.

But doing #2 (setting up a Character Set for every combination of characters) would get lengthy. Obviously this would be untenable for 3 or 4 full teams and 10 accounts due to the almost infinite number of combinations.

Just seeking to understand. Thanks again for your help!
